YouTube will help you quit watching Shorts

  Or just add this to uBlock and never see them again.

  www.youtube.com##:matches-path(/)a#thumbnail[href*="/shorts"]:upward(7)
  www.youtube.com##:matches-path(/)a#endpoint[title*="Shorts"]
  www.youtube.com##:matches-path(/)a#endpoint[title*="Explore"]

      Unless you NEED notifications, you should be using the browser

    This doesn’t seem to work for their mobile site. Am I doing this right?

      Try this for mobile:

      m.youtube.com##.reel-shelf-items
      m.youtube.com##.reel-shelf-header

    I block all their domains using my DNS server and won’t ever be tracked by them again.

      But then you also can’t watch regular videos anymore?

  I would rather a toggle that permanently disables the button on the bottom so it’s never ever possible to click ever again.

      Also possible to hide them from the feed.

  I use the unhook plugin . It’s a quick fix that enables you to able or disable youtube features. I use it because of that, due people still will send you shorts, and well, I can’t say them “stop sending me that shit”, I c-can’t say that to my wife, you know?

  I don’t even get why people are addicted to them. I watch at most 5 a day. And most days 0. I guess that’s the advantage of desktop, the controls aren’t dumbed down to just flicking my finger across the screen.

  I like how this comes after I accidentally left my browser open on a short and it just kept playing all night, like they saw me watching shorts for over 18 hours straight and were like “we gotta stop that guy.”

  I have a better idea (From my post lemmy.zip/post/51754927):

  Invidious filters for Tamper Monkey (Rendering Youtube as not worth looking at anymore):

  Invidious Clean View with List View of Thumbnails, and Threshold Control

  And this other script takes filtering a step further:

  Invidious: Remove ALL CAPS + $ + MrBeast + Keyword + Channel Filter (with exclusions) + Redirect
